How do we gauge the relevance of human rights in the region, given the political, social, and economic context? What are the practical and theoretical obstacles to the implementation of these rights?Human Rights in the Arab World: Independent Voices offers perspectives from those at the forefront of research on human rights and Islam, globalization, transnational advocacy, and the politics of key states such as Egypt, Morocco, and Yemen. Some chapters provide essential historical background to current political realities, while others consider ways to confront this region's practical and theoretical challenges to human rights. By placing the question of human rights in the often tragic context of Arab politics, the very real stakes are made clear. 606 $aHuman rights$zArab countries 606 $aHuman rights$zIslamic countries 610 $aHuman Rights. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a323.0956 701 $aChase$b Anthony Tirado$01480457 701 $aHamzawy$b Amr$01480458 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787522203321 996 $aHuman rights in the Arab world$93697112 997 $aUNINA
